Sponsored by the Commission. Going after the League of Villains on their orders. The League of Villains is a lot to deal with, and they're important. There's a huge but resting in Bakugo's mind. Perhaps it's because the League of Villains only showed themselves this year, and Hawks had three previous years to do anything about heteromorphs and didn't. Perhaps it's the way his posture changes. Perhaps it's that hero's sense of something being off. He doesn't like it. "As the number two hero, you could succeed without their sponsorship."

He's testing the waters. Katsuki doesn't expect Hawks to agree. Given how little property damage Hawks incurs, unlike Mount Lady, he should be clearly in the black and raking it in. Yet here he is, sponsored by the Commission.

"Sorry, it's going to crumble. It's already happened when I'm from," Katsuki shrugs. "We'll build it back after we save the world. You wanted change. That's the perfect time for change."
